The Team You’ll Work With

FPI is responsible for all money movement taking place on the Carta platform and ensuring we have the right checks in place to allow genuine customers to do money movement. These checks are in the form of KYC and AML processes. Solutions that you craft will likely have millions of dollars moving through them as soon as they are released. Our team (Risk), is charged with ensuring that all of these financial transactions are in regulatory compliance to protect Carta and its clients. We are a small team with an enormous impact cutting across the entire business. We are highly collaborative and passionate about our craft and the solutions we release.  For this reason, technical excellence is not optional. We are a platform team and interfaces with many core product teams at Carta . Know your customer / business is the process of verifying the identity of our customers and better understanding how risky they may be. Anti-Money Laundering (AML) is the process of ensuring that every single transaction which moves through the Carta platform is above board and in compliance.
